What is the best way to design a website so that someone with no html skills can update and edit it? I usually use Dreamweaver for web design, but it needs to be more simple than that. A client wants to be able to make small changes and add info to the site himself in the future. Any suggestions for software or an online service that would give me design freedom and control, yet be easy for him to edit? It would be best if it is cheap or free and it has to be able to run on a mac and a pc. Thanks in advance!. - Ken. For this type of setup, you really can’t go past Wordpress. You setup wordpress, do the initial design for your client and then give them the information to access the backend, and show them how to create pages and posts.. -Ed.

MWM news SNAPCHAT CHAT GIVES BRANDS DIRECT LINE TO CONSUMERS Snapchat’s new text and video feature will enable brands to further engage with their audiences. It also opens up opportunities for ad targeting, experts say. Disappearing photo-messaging app Snapchat has revealed Chat, a text/video feature that claims to add presence to conversations. To chat with a friend on Snapchat, users swipe right on a friend's name in their inboxes. When a user leaves the chat screen, messages will be cleared, but either participant can tap or screenshot to save anything they'd like to keep. Snapchat will alert users when friends are in the chat. If both are present, users can press and hold to share live video and chat face to face. "There's nothing like knowing you have the full attention of your friend while you're chatting," Snapchat says in a blog post. Snapchat's Chat update could be good news for brands who might be able to use the feature to speak directly to consumers. According to Tom Buontempo, chief business development officer and co-founder of kbs+ Content Labs, the live video chat feature extends direct communication between brands and individual customers in "the most transparent, open way I've seen to date. It's essentially a FaceTime or Skype between brand and customer." In an email, Buontempo writes that as communication evolves, brands are challenged to move quickly and to communicate with their fans and followers in a way that balances fans' one-to-one behavior with the scale they need to operate. "However, unless Snapchat finds a way to scale video chat (a la Google Hangout), I'd expect brands to try and create alternate means of adding value to their fans' existing video chats with things like backgrounds, stickers, etc. That said, it does make for an interesting customer service tool," Buontempo writes. Esha Shah, manager of mobile strategy and innovation at mobile marketing agency Fetch, says the new functionalities prove Snapchat is moving away from being merely a social platform and into communications and messaging, similar to cross-platform mobile messaging app WhatsApp. It is another way of monetizing the platform, she notes, and opens up opportunities for innovation such as group chat on mobile or sharing digital multimedia. "As Snapchat looks to monetize, in-app purchases will come first, as they continue to innovate and create services users will want to pay for. This is a trend that will continue to develop as major players within the messaging space start to develop a range of services that move beyond just communications, including social gaming integration, payment tools, and utilities that integrate into a user's lifestyle," Shah says. Shah also says the new features mean Snapchat will be able to collect data on users, which will allow for ad targeting, which has proven to be more effective and provide a higher return on investment (ROI) for brands than traditional mass branding.

MICROSOFT HANDS ITS GLOBAL AD BUSINESS TO DENTSU AND IPG Microsoft is taking steps to consolidate its global ad business by choosing just two companies to work with. In an effort to move forward with the concept of "One Microsoft," the tech giant has decided to hand its global ad and media business to just two holding companies - the Interpublic Group (IPG) and the Dentsu Aegis Group (Dentsu). IPG shops, including McCann Worldgroup, The Martin Agency, and Erwin Penland, will take creative responsibilities for the company's traditional, direct, and digital ads. McCann will play a big role, as it will also manage the global distribution of Microsoft ads. Previously, WPP shops Wunderman and Possible, as well as Publicis' Razorfish and independent Omelet, among other agencies, supported these tasks. Dentsu, on the other hand, will now manage Microsoft's media planning and buying, and search advertising. In 2011, Microsoft moved its North America media-buying account from IPG's UM to Publicis' Mediavest. And since then, the company's media business was mainly split between IPG's UM (overseas) and Mediavest (U.S.). We reported in January of this year that Microsoft had started reviewing its agency contracts across the board, as part of its "One Microsoft" strategy, an initiative by the company's former chief executive (CEO) Steve Ballmer. The philosophy behind Ballmer's idea was to get all Microsoft's operations under one brand. So early this year, four holding companies - IPG, Dentsu, Publicis, and WPP - each pitched Microsoft, and Dentsu and IPG emerged victorious. This consolidation also comes hot on the heels of an executive shake-up in Microsoft's marketing department. Chris Capossela has succeeded the company's former executive vice president of marketing, Tami Reller, as the new chief marketing officer. Previously, Reller with the assistance of Mark Penn (the man behind Bill and Hillary Clinton's presidential campaigns), led the company's marketing strategy. This follows the earlier appointment in February this year of Microsoft's new chief executive, Satya Nadella. It seems that under Capossela's leadership, Microsoft is moving forward with a more centralized marketing approach. Or in Baller's words, "one strategy, united together."

INTERNET MARKETING – HOW TO PROMOTE YOUR BUSINESS AND BENEFIT By: Erma Terry The concept of internet marketing originated from an email advertising campaign conducted by Gary Thuerk in 1978, followed by the banner ad in 1993 by Global Network Navigator and eventually the keyword marketing option by GoTo.com in 1998. Ever since internet marketing has evolved in various aspects and through innovation have created a niche where a business is almost non-existent without this form of advertising. Online marketing is a huge profit making business which benefits all segments. In order to earn maximum benefits from internet marketing one should:      

Create a website showcasing your product; Research on the internet about competition, their successful approach, and the market trends. Plan a marketing strategy based on the type of your business and the target consumer. Analyze your market position, customer behavior and select a marketing tool suiting your requirements. If it’s a new start up, use the free marketing tools to keep a tab on your growing business. Apply effective SEO marketing skills, promotion of your business through email marketing, social media marketing, banner ads, through blog or article writing, participating in discussion forums and all that helps advertise your endeavor positively.

Internet marketing not only exposes your business on a global platform at a much lower cost compared to offline marketing, but also allows a business to showcase a wide varity of products under the same roof. This enables even a small sector or home business to flourish effectively with the minimum costs involved.

This involves increased sales and building rapport with the customers at the same time for a long term benefit. It opens up the space where a seller and a buyer can communicate and understand each other’s requirements. Besides the fact that internet marketing enables instant purchase decision in a few clicks, it also captures the purchase power of the consumer to use it for future prospects. You can certainly reap the advantages of internet marketing, however, keeping in mind that every business requires time and patience. Profits do not show overnight, so put your efforts, use your intelligence and you are sure to rock the internet business segment.

Apply effective SEO marketing skills, promotion of your business through email marketing, social media marketing, banner ads, through blog or article writing, participating in discussion forums and all that helps advertise your endeavor positively.

THE CATS THAT GOT THE CREAM Franchise Owner Abi Purser on building a business empire with luxury cat hotels “Every Longcroft hotel looks beautiful, but most importantly the behind the scenes processes have been honed to perfection with animal welfare being at the forefront of our mission.” When did you come up with the idea for a luxury cat hotel? The idea was born out of necessity. In 2009 we had booked a three week holiday and couldn’t find anywhere suitable for our beloved cat Norman (no laughing!) to stay!

Did you expect to have the success you have experienced when you launched the business? In a word, no. I knew I wanted Longcroft to be the best business of its kind in the UK, but after opening in the summer of 2010 the client base grew much faster than expected. We were fully booked within weeks. At Christmas in 2010 we turned away over 200 bookings, about £26,000 of business, because we simply didn’t have the capacity to take clients on. At that point I knew things had to change – and fast!

“

Quotable: “Treat your password like your toothbrush. Don't let anybody else use it, and get a new one every six months.” ~Clifford Stoll

How is Longcroft unique from other existing Cat Hotel businesses? It’s all about the detail. We are incredibly detail-oriented, whether it be from the choice of bedding to the materials we use in construction. Every element has been chosen for a very specific reason. Every Longcroft hotel looks beautiful, but most importantly the behind the scenes processes have been honed to perfection with animal welfare being at the forefront of our mission. We never sit still and are constantly innovating and tweaking things, which is the main reason have won so many business awards recently. Theo Paphitis and Deborah Meaden named us Smarta 100 2012 winners, marking Longcroft as one of the top 100 businesses in the UK today. We were also crowned Best New Business in Hertfordshire in 2012.

Did you envisage Longcroft as being a franchise business? For now, yes. It still offers us a lot of control on which way the brand is directed, which is very important to our long term success. We also love the family element that we’ve managed to create with our franchise, we all speak on the phone regularly and meet up for dinner together. And I still run the original hotel, Longcroft Welwyn, which puts me in a franchisee’s position every day. This makes mentoring new franchisees much more efficient as I can relate to every aspect of the job and any difficulties or problems that could arise. And we can certainly expand further, so the franchise model helps with that. We have had a lot of interest internationally and the model could be tweaked slightly for those markets.

Why is Longcroft particularly suited to being a franchise? We structured Longcroft around our franchisees’ busy lives. As a young mum myself who is juggling home, family and work, my mission was to create an enjoyable, profitable and sustainable business that I could run from my home on a part time basis.

What about the franchising business model appealed to you? We have complete control over choosing our franchisees, which is important. When owners come to view us they are just as interested to meet the cat hotelier as to view the hotel. People buy people! It’s also a very cost effective way of growing business.

What support do you offer franchisees? Longcroft has a dedicated PR team who create a launch plan for each hotel. We use our press contacts to arrange for franchisees to get featured on local press, radio and potentially TV. This ensures that their Longcroft Hotel opening gains an immediate high profile within their region. We also have an annual marketing plan which includes month by month campaigns to ensure bookings are kept at full volume, and a price tracker to keep prices at the optimum level. Finally we have fully designed promotional templates – for local advertising, leaflets and email newsletters for franchisees to make use of, plus a supportive network of head office team and other franchisees, who they will get to know via regular phone and face to face get-togethers.

Are you concerned that opening your business to franchisees could harm your brand? To begin with, of course. Longcroft is like my fourth child!

What advice would you give to entrepreneurs looking to open a franchise business?

What advantages will franchisees have over starting their own cat hotel brand? Joining an established multi award winning business is great comfort for cat owners wishing to use Longcroft hotels. This in itself is invaluable. To launch as a solo cat hotel and build these elements of your business from scratch, including creating and registering a business and domain name, building a website and social media network, designing stationery, and commissioning photographers, writers, PR and Marketing, would cost in excess of £25,000. The Longcroft joining fee is just £12,000, so it represents great value. But also, aside from the money, there are the networking benefits that come from joining the Longcroft family. The reassurance that there’s always someone to reach out to when needed cannot be valued. It’s a ‘mini’ business link without the annual fees, and with those who have an intimate knowledge and understanding of your business.

Do you have any criteria you look for in a potential Longcroft franchisee? Firstly they must be personable and animal loving. I make sure I conduct all of the interviews personally and prefer it if franchisees have no previous experience as we do things so differently at Longcroft. Of course there are other elements to consider like the type of property- some properties would never obtain planning permission around the constraints of licensing etc. Planning is very involved, and can go wrong very early on which is why we take care of it. Funding is another hurdle for some people but most of our franchisees are profitable within year two, making business plans robust and commercial loans easier to obtain.

Make sure you find the right person to advise you on turning your business from one business to multiple. Go with recommendation. Ask yourself: Will there be enough profit? How will I market? How will I get new franchisees cost effectively? Do I need an investor? Can I afford one? Research is key. Have faith in your ability and go with your gut always!

Abi is currently looking for a franchisee to open a new Longcroft in Brighton. For details visitwww.longcroftcathotel. co.uk

MWM ask the expert

AN INTERVIEW WITH DIGITAL ANALYTICS EXPERT, KRISTA SEIDEN Krista Seiden is an experienced leader in the digital analytics and optimization industry. She has recently been recognized as a 2014 â&#x20AC;&#x153;Rising Starâ&#x20AC;? by the Digital Analytics Association (DAA) Awards for Excellence. In her current role as a Product Marketing Manager at Google, she leads web analytics, reporting, testing, and optimization for the Enterprise Marketing team. She has evangelized optimization internally and expanded A/B testing efforts over 15-fold to the point where her team executes over 50 tests per quarter. As more and more businesses look to hire people with strong experience in testing, optimization, and analytics, people like Krista are in high demand. We were curious to learn how her career has unfolded and hear her advice for others looking to enter into this burgeoning field.

Did you know:

The Internet weighs as much as one strawberry.

MWM ask the expert Optimizely: To start off, please tell us about your career in digital analytics. How did you arrive at where you are now? Krista: I’ve had an interesting and diverse career spanning several companies and focus areas. I started out in the space as an internal practitioner at Adobe (pre-Omniture acquisition). In addition to web analytics, I focused on optimization and helped run several split tests for their core cloud product offerings. After Adobe, I spent some time at the Apollo Group (parent company of the University of Phoenix) as a product analyst responsible for all digital metrics for their classroom social media platform and mobile apps. We used a variety of platforms, including Google Analytics, Coremetrics, several social platforms and BI tools such as Business objects & Microstrategy. I built a skill set around UX testing and paired the qualitative data we received from user testing with quantitative data to tell a complete story. I then moved onto to Google where I currently run the analytics & optimization program for the Enterprise group. In this role I manage the implementation & high level reporting for six core product offerings and run an A/B testing program which executes upwards of 50 tests/quarter.

MWM 17

What advice do you have for people looking to explore a career in analytics, testing, optimization, data application? Get hands on—if you have a personal website or blog, get a free Google Analytics account and start tracking your site data. Try running a simple A/B test on your own—there are several A/B testing tools which will help you do this with minimal effort (Content Experiments within GA and Optimizely are both great options). Read the blogs and twitter feeds of the top minds in the industry. I’d also recommend getting involved with the Analysis Exchange, an organization which pairs analytics mentors with students to run a free analytics project for a non-profit business. It’s a great way to get hands on and learn from an experienced digital analyst.

How do you see the industry changing in the next few years? The industry is moving fast—there are constantly new tools, new faces, and new ways of thinking. But let’s not forget the basics. It’s important not to overlook the simple things as the industry moves towards more advanced and complex tools. I also see privacy as being a growing concern and something the digital analytics industry as a whole needs to address.

MWM 18

Can you give an example of where your expertise had a particularly strong impact in your organization? I’ve had the opportunity to guide several organizations through product and web development by adding the analytics and optimization layer to the equation. One example I like to give comes from my experience working on mobile app analytics at the Apollo Group. While developing v2 of our classroom app, I must have made 4 or 5 trips from SF to Phoenix to sit in on UX lab studies for how students were reacting to and using the v2 app (throughout various stages of dev). After I attended those sessions I was able to better understand the data we were seeing on the analytics side and that deeper understanding led to several features tweaks and enhancements in the v2 app. It was very powerful to see the combination of quantitative & qualitative come together to influence development to make a better experience for our students.

“Pairing quantitative and qualitative data together makes for a much more powerful story than raw data alone. Think about the user!”

What have you learned about the potential and limits about digital analytics, marketing analytics? Data is great, you can learn and understand a lot about your business by looking at your data. But quantitative data is only part of the story— understanding the customer and reading between the spreadsheet rows is important. Pairing quantitative and qualitative data together makes for a much more powerful story than raw data alone. Think about the user!

A GUIDE TO DIFFERENT TYPES OF INTERNET MARKETING By: Garry Cross

There are different types of internet marketing methods that one can resort to depending on the type of their business and the target segment of customers. 



 



   

Affiliate Marketing – This involves appearance of ads of the organization on partner websites. When anyone interested clicks on the ad, they are directed to your site, thereby increasing your web traffic. The affiliate website receives a share of profit in return. Social Media Marketing – This kind of marketing includes signing up with the social media platforms, such as, Facebook, Twitter and more, build a page for your organization and advertise using their services. Search Engine Marketing – This involves web promotions boosting the visibility of the websites in the different search engine pages and increasing their chances to appear in the top rankings. Email Marketing – This targets the current or past customers by sending email messages which may contain only text, videos or the link to their website. This kind of marketing ensures customer relationship management and promotion of business at the same time. Content Marketing – This includes marketing by writing articles for blogs or websites related to the products. The information provided is generally informative which attracts new customers and increases web traffic. Forum Marketing – Marketing a product via discussion forums is another method which is quite effective where one can talk to the interested crowd about their products and receive comments in return. Display marketing similar to a print ad, is exhibition of picture or video ads of products on an advertising space. Pay per click advertising is when the advertiser pays you for the number of clicks on the website link displayed by you. Referral marketing is word of mouth marketing, where if someone likes a product can endorse it to the other and so on. Video marketing is done through displaying advertising videos on video sites for example YouTube or posted on any affiliate websites.

These are some of the main types of Internet Marketing methods that are generally followed, however, there are also other methods, such as, marketing via PR, social cause, mobile phones, internet radio, or display or word of mouth campaigning via social networks.

WHAT ARE THE ADVANTAGES OF INTERNET MARKETING? If you own a business new or old, you need to showcase your product to not only increase the sales, but also to stand out in the crowd by creating a repute of your own. This can be achieved through Internet Marketing which is a growing trend in this competitive market. There are not few but many advantages of internet marketing that help enhance the portrait of your business: 



Internet enables an exposure of the organization on global platform, thereby increasing its chances to be noticed by one and all and attracting more traffic to your website. The ads can be posted immediately as opposed to offline advertising mediums, which ensure reaching out to the target segment at a faster pace. Availability of internet anywhere, anytime (for example mobile phones) has made it easier for customers to access information and make a purchase decision immediately. Internet marketing is the most cost effective way of selling your products, as it requires no investments related to buying or renting a place for the set up, no maintenance requirement, or items can be purchased on order received and not in advance. Unlike offline advertising which is randomly targeted to one and all, internet marketing allows to target only the specific customers related to your products. Once the ad has been seen by the customer it will again appear after sometime rather than overexposure. Social media adds to the advantage of internet marketing as people are nowadays more available on social networking sites, such as, Facebook, twitter and more and hence the ads on these sites increase the exposure of your products to a more number of customers at a time. Email marketing enhances the relationship building between the seller and the customer, thereby retaining the old customers and attracting new ones. There are many tools on the internet which allows the organizations to assess their performance of their advertisings instantly, how many consumers are interested, who are interested, from which region and a lot more.

Therefore, internet marketing in today’s world is a boon to all companies, big or small and a single platform to advertise and promote your business globally.

MWM Q & A SEO CONSULTANT INTERVIEW: KRYSTIAN SZASTOK W are lucky enough to feature a new interview with Krystian Szastok, an SEO consultant from East Grinstead (formerly from Brighton). Krystian runs his own personal SEO blog & consultancy, as well as working for Rocket Mill (formerly Jellyfish) as a digital marketing manager. We talked to him about the current state of SEO in 2014, how the role of SEO consultants are changing, and what this means for the industry as a whole.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Get help. Research well and find an SEO agency with experience and educate yourself on what to expect in terms of recovery. Sign a tight contract to ensure no disappointment or surprises.â&#x20AC;?

Hi Krystian, we really appreciate the time you’ve taken out to speak to us today. Could you give our readers some background information to yourself, and also how you got into the SEO industry? I started in SEO about 7 years ago after I learned how to make websites. A client of mine (still a client to this day) asked me if I could optimise his site – so I learned how to do it and it still ranks to this day. Not no.1 any more – but still very well visible and returning results. The World of SEO has seen a lot of change over the last 12 months and I am sure you’ve probably seen a lot of clients whose rankings have been burnt due to past SEO practices they might have undertaken. With that in mind, what toplevel advice do you have to businesses who have suffered ranking drops or penalties? Get help. Research well and find an SEO agency with experience and educate yourself on what to expect in terms of recovery. Sign a tight contract to ensure no disappointment or surprises. It seems to me that the role an SEO consultant is very different in 2014 to what it previously was. From my perspective, SEO is getting more difficult, but that’s great news for reputable SEO consultants like ourselves. For example, on some projects, the role seems to blur between PR and SEO. What would you say are the main aspects to an SEO consultant as it stands today and how do you position yourself when talking to new clients? I think versatility and technical knowledge are very important. I do agree – sometimes we do borderline PR, but most important for me is the knowledge of many aspects of what is involved in increasing online visibility. It’s crucial to be able to help someone whether they’re trying to rank in organic Google, local results, image results or even in another search engine like Yelp, TripAdvisor or Booking.com.

“I’m most proud of the openness and my honest approach to SEO.” How do you keep abreast of the current SEO strategies and news? Are there any particular events or online resources that you can recommend to other SEO consultants? Twitter is big – I learned all of my SEO knowledge from peers. Following experts and reading articles they share helped me greatly in expanding my knowledge. There is not a day when I don’t read something new. Here’s a handy Twitter list I made of some of the best SEOs I follow: • twitter.com/krystianszastok/lists/top-intlseos-to-follow If I don’t have the time, I jump on a treadmill and use voice reader in my mobile to read articles into the headphones as I run. One thing I’ve always found tricky is trying to explain to people what I do for a living who don’t know what the term SEO means. How do you explain your role and what you do to someone who really has no idea what search engine optimisation is? I usually just say ‘I help people improve their websites so that more people visit them’. It’s still vague as hell, but I do struggle to simplify it! What’s your proudest achievement whilst working as an SEO consultant? Whether that’s a particular project with great results, or something to do with your career progression? Knowing that I helped many businesses. Being able to go to sleep knowing that I’m not ‘hacking’ or ‘cheating’ – kind of like we used to years ago back in the day of directory links and spam generally. I’m most proud of the openness and my honest approach to SEO. Finally, if you have anything you would like to plug or advertise, then please feel free to tell us about it. Whether that’s a website, blog, project, or social media profile, we would love to know more. Yes, absolutely, I plan to run a digital marketing conference in Brighton (possibly a mini conference, depends how things go) called CrossChann: crosschann.co.uk. Jump on the mailing list to be the first to know about it. Thanks for having me!

INTERNET MARKETING/ONLINE MARKETING – MERITS AND DEMERITS By: Fred Doyle

Internet marketing is a widely accepted advertising preference in the modern world, which is used constructively by many and at the same time it can have its negative implications. Merits of Internet Marketing:     

Unlike a retail business, your internet business is open to all 24 by 7 and 365 days a year giving you the max benefit. It saves you the cost of an establishment, labor, or any set up arrangements, besides the marketing cost that is otherwise huge offline. Appearance on the internet exposes you nationally as well as internationally, thus helping your business cross the borders. Email marketing saves you the time and cost rather than sending paper mailers or documents. Availability of market research data that helps you analyzes the performance of your business with the regular customer feedbacks.

Demerits of Internet Marketing:    



 

Not all internet marketing tools are free and those which are free of cost are not at par with the quality of the paid tools. Hence some kind of investment is required on the business front. Internet visitors tend to ignore the banner ads at most of the incidences, thereby negating the purpose of advertising. If a business has a website that needs to be downloaded on a faster internet that may not accessible to users with a slower internet connection, thus leading to limited exposure of the business. Due to the frequent online frauds occurring in the recent scenario, users do not trust the internet marketing approaches easily. It also becomes a hindrance in the online payment, thus reducing the business opportunity. Some advertisers use fraudulent means for the pay per click marketing programme, where they simply use tactics to click on the sites with no real intention of purchase, thereby affecting the business of the publishers. Technology issues related to pop up blocking or privacy settings that does not allow ads to appear on a user’s computer and hence decreasing customer base. Spams and Identity thefts are a common concern that inhibits a user to respond to the different internet marketing techniques.

Every business, online or offline has its ups and downs, hence, even with the disadvantages internet marketing is sure to stay and grow in the future years.

A TAILORED NIGHT OUT Nick Telson co founded DesignMyNight.com, an online service that helps users plan their evening’s entertainment, with a university friend in 2009. He talks to SmallBusiness.co.uk about starting up. “From a marketing point of view I would much rather invest time and money in SEO where there’s a ready-made market looking for your website, versus using fliers or a £30,000 PR stunt, where you’re reaching a lot of people but only 20 per cent of them might be your target market.”

How did you get the idea? We were visiting [future business partner] Andrew’s wife in 2010 in New York. We asked the concierge in the hotel for some tips on where to go out in the city, and the concierge asked how much we had to spend. That got me thinking about how interesting it would be to give people the power to design their own nights out online to a budget.

How did started?

you

get

We both had full-time jobs but we started working on the idea on the side. We managed to get a really cheap price for our website build from a friend of a friend who runs a web and design agency. The website was to be 20,000 pages, which normally costs £30-50,000 but he did it for much less to build his portfolio and involve his team with a big website. After 12 months we put the site live to test the waters and everything grew from there. Recently, we raised six figures of investment through seven private investors, a lot of which will be spent on employing staff.

“Anyone that needs help with either finding or booking a bar, whether that be a couple or a huge party, we’ll do it and take the money from the venue rather than the user.”

What is the revenue model? We’ve got a few different streams of revenue which was a big selling point for the investors. Firstly, when our users make a booking on the site, it’s free for them but we charge a referral fee to the venues for the people we put in their bars, which is similar to Toptable’s model in the restaurant industry. Also, we run a concierge service. Anyone that needs help with either finding or booking a bar, whether that be a couple or a huge party, we’ll do it and take the money from the venue rather than the user. Advertising is big for us too. Much of our userbase is in the early 20s demographic and this, combined with what we do, is a perfect fit for the likes of drinks brands.

How did you market it?

What are the big challenges?

In the beginning, Andrew and I read up on SEO and taught ourselves what we needed to know to get our website maximum visibility. From a marketing point of view I would much rather invest time and money in SEO where there’s a ready-made market looking for your website, versus using fliers or a £30,000 PR stunt, where you’re reaching a lot of people but only 20 per cent of them might be your target market.

Managing money and keeping emotional stability. Andrew and I are great friends but I don’t think either of us were prepared for the emotional rollercoaster that running your own business entails. We experience levels of stress you just don’t get in a corporate job. On the other hand, there’s a whole new level of excitement and enjoyment to go with the sadness and despair. You can go through a lot a day but you have to learn from it all and keep level-headed and balanced. We have been living on the breadline for a year and a half to make this a reality.

Every page on our website has been SEOed to the guidelines and we’ve played by the book, there’s no point trying to cheat Google. We’re at a stage now where I’d quite happily set up an SEO consultancy. PR is also something we are employing.

What’s next? We’re looking to be turning over around £1 million in a year. With a tech company you have quite low overheads and a high margin. We want to be in three or four UK cities within 12 months and we’ll be thinking of going international too. If we can manage fast growth well the potential is huge.
